While utilizing Processing (a programming program developed by MIT) and exporting Java applets, a series of programs were interconnected leading up to the final piece. They explor the interactive capabilities that can be utilized through Processing while simultaneously learning the coding language itself and how to make running, workable programs that could be intreging to the viewer.
The first project entailed drawing an object (i.e. the reboot logo from the old tv show) and then adding some base functionality through a left mouse click, hold and release. The next 2 pieces built upon the functionality of the first while encorporating easing functions as well as exploring a sense of randomness.
Mesosphere

Mixing dance and technology, Mesosphere connects movement with Kinect images in a performance piece with an interactive edge.
The Mesosphere performance is an abstract investigation into the process of loss. A dancer moves through a landscape of projected trees, clouds, and pixelating images that respond to her movements. Melodic vibraphone music strikes a balance between a reflective dreamstate and a crying out of layered tones. The internal narrative of the performer evokes a feeling of loss restored through forgiveness with a freeing of self.
After the performance, audience members are invited to play in the interactive image environment. Mesosphere is performed one night only on September 9, 2011 in the downstairs multimedia room at the Waldorf Hotel.
